GOAL:
How to see AS/400 error message descriptions
FIX:
Each message written in the AS/400 job log has a message identification (MSGID). Using this MSGID you can retrieve the description of any message at any time. To do it use the command
DSPMSGD xxxxxxx
where xxxxxxx is the MSGID of the message you want to retrieve. The message is retrieved from message file QCPFMSG where are locate the normal messages for PROSERVER job logs. If you need to see a message which is in another message file (for example a Progress message), you must specify it as a parameter:
DSPMSGD message library/file
For example, to see the description of the Progress message PRO9036:
DSPMSGD PRO9036 PROGRESS/PRO4MSG
assuming PROGRESS is the library name where Progress is installed. PRO4MSG is the Progress message file for runtime messages. There is also a file PROMSGS for client messages and a PRO4CMD for the messages used by the utilities (DUPPRODB, CHGPRODCT,...). Be careful because the same MSGID may exist in more than one message file.
The TCP errors indicated by Progress message PRO9036 can be retrieved from the QCPFMSG file using the CPE prefix. For example, if in the job log you see the message
PRO9036 TCP error 3021 Encountered at line 258
You can obtain the description for 3021 using
DSPMSGD CPE3021
